The food at the restaurant was great . The server was attentive to our needs . The room is good but needs a few updates especially in the bathroom . The door was hard to close and the shower curtain fell off while I was taking a shower . But otherwise we had a good stay .

Delightful with a perfect location
Excellent little hotel right in the center of everything Frankfort has to offer. It is next to a theater and a brewery. Just a block from coffee shops, ice cream shops, and cafes. And only 2 blocks from the beach. The place has a unique style and every room is different. Our room was clean, spacious, with a great stone-tile shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were staying the weekend for a friends wedding celebration. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely place to stay!
Have stayed at the Frankfort Hotel 3 times! It’s charming! Every room is decorated differently, as seen on the website. Staff are friendly & attentive. Parking is on-site & free. Room & common areas are very clean & quiet. It’s an easy 5 minute walk from the hotel to the Lake & beach in one direction & to the shops & restaurants on Main Street in the other direction. Can walk all the way up & down the busiest section of Main Street without moving your car. It’s a lovely place to stay!

I had a great time, i stayed 2 days. The staff was friendly and let me know if i needed anything to let them know. My room was clean and had a cozy feeling. It is right on the strip, which was in walking distance to the beach, the piers, and all the food and shopping i loved it. Thanks for everything.

Wo
It was clean. No ironing board. Not many room amenities really. Shampoo and conditioner in a small squeeze bottle. Had to go downstairs to get anything, like ice or a second towel.

One-night stay.
Friendly staff. Tidy and very clean room, although the chair at a small table felt like it was going to break, and it made lot of creaking sounds. No restaurant open on Wednesday, so that was a bummer. Bed was comfy. We only stayed one night so that's all we noticed. I'd stay there again for sure.

This was our fourth visit to Hotel Frankfort. We enjoyed the stay. We stayed in the Barn Room and wasn't as nice as the rooms we had in the past. Would recommend hotel Frankfort to others for sure.
